Lilly Allen & Keith ERRRR!!

[jj]

I believe parents have two main duties: to teach their kids not to behave
like assholes; and to appreciate the value of money and to be humbly
grateful if they're fortunate enough not to have to work in a shite Mcjob
to survive.
Keith Allen has failed on both counts [surprise, surprise]. Although I
question how much input he's had into Lily's upbringing given the sorry
state of his past love-life.

AFAIK LT has made it entirely on her own talent without a shred of help
from the old man [OK, maybe the odd phone-call]. She sems a perfectly
personable young woman and while I can see she might not be everyone's
cup of tea, she's shouldn't be slated on that account.

I recall many years ago on one of those late night round table discussions shows, Keith Allen was a guest and for some reason (I can't remember now) he flew into a rage, swore at the fellow guests and stormed out of the studio!

He's not untalented as an actor, but he seems to have decided early on
that cultivating a reputation as the 'hard man of the intelligentsia' will
earn him respect in the media.
It doesn't; it just makes people think he's a moronic arse with no self-
control and no manners. Which, of course, he is. Every piece of good art
he produces is diminished by all this juvenilia.

I thought he was pretty good in bodies

and I quite enjoyed the docu with the 'god hates fags' group where he went off on one, don't think you would get too many presenters doing that that (Louis T couldn't)

The 'god hates fags' lot had already been covered more than once, and
they were such an easy target.

true, but no one had a real go at them like keith did
